The optimum lubricant for every stage in the process. VCI powders and sponges VCI fluids VCI powder is a pure corrosion inhibitor formulated to protected a number of metals. Filled into permeable paper sachets, these are simply placed among the packaged parts. VCI fluids can be simply sprayed on the components to be protected or on the wrapping paper or cartons they are in. Universal powders Oil Available as powder and powder sachets in sizes VCI UNI-S of 10 g and 25 g. Universal granulate UNI-O-40 This is a special oil which releases corrosion-inhibiting VCI vapours. These then protect all metal surfaces in a sealed system such as tanks or gearboxes without the oil having to wet the surfaces. VCI UNI-G Available as granulate and granulate sachets in various sizes. Solution Universal tablets Available in packet sizes of 1,000 x 1 g. VCI UNI-T Universal sponges UNI-W 50 and FE-W 50 These products are simply sprayed onto the parts to be protected, on foam packaging or on the internal surfaces of cartons. After the water dries, a thin, dry and highly-effective film remains. VCI fluids are also used to improve the corrosion protection properties of cleaners, metalworking fluids and other water-based products. VCI UNI-F Examples: Pads, packaging foam/sponges in various sizes and thicknesses. Available on rolls or as tear-off items. Fluid UNI-IP 30 Primarily for the mechanical application of corrosion protection in deep-drawn holders, trays or other racks. Using the specially-developed and patented spraying system, even sea-freight containers can maintain a protective VCI atmosphere over longer periods of time. Costly and time-consuming packaging is thus eliminated. While the information and figures given here are typical of current production and confirm to specification, minor variations may occur.
